"My friend had the house specialty, The Breakup Cookie. This is the ultimate comfort food! Chocolate chip cookies that are perfectly chewy (and just a little gooey at the middle), salt sprinkled on top ... so good!" - Yelp user Rob S.

"The chocolate chip cookies are some of the best I've ever had, and I love their sandwiches, which rotate daily. This is my favorite pit stop to make for a quick breakfast or lunch, and the service is always very friendly!" - Yelp user Jenica S.

"Even though most took half of their sandwiches home, we couldn't resist the big chocolate chip cookies that looked like scones. They were made from a secret recipe of the chef's mother." - Yelp user Candice S.

"We made a cookie recipe around Christmas that produced huge chocolate chip chewy cookies overflowing with melty chocolate chips, and these cookies are precisely like that, with the addition of pecans." - Yelp user Wendy H.

"Drive by the sign all the time, finally decided to stop. Being a first-time customer you get a free cookie of your choice, so naturally I fell in love with the place. The cookie didn't make it past the first step out the door!" - Yelp user Kara G.

"What I loved most about the cookie was the large sugar crystals on top. It gave it such a great texture and crunch that I absolutely loved! The service was friendly and the ambiance was relaxing." - Yelp user Sara B.

"I ordered the chocolate chip cookie, and really it's like four cookies smashed together in a cookie mound. They make batches daily and once it's gone, it's gone. The cookie itself was delectable. Rich, creamy chocolate chunks, and a savory sweet flavor that could satisfy any sweet tooth." - Yelp user Stacy F.

"The Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie is my go-to treat from Kalapawai. The cookie is chewy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, and it's studded generously with chocolate chips. It also has a sprinkling of salt crystals on top, so you get that sweet-and-salty blend in every bite." - Yelp user Kelli S.

"The housemade cookies were the best. They were still warm after our savory items! The chocolate was nice and gooey, and the dash of sea salt complemented the bittersweet chocolate super well." - Yelp user Victoria K.

"Definitely one of the best cookies I've ever had. They kept it warm, so the chips melted like lava flowing in cracked earth. I can't even remember how much it cost, but it was worth the price." - Yelp user Lenny K.

"Had a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast and it was warmed to perfection. The chocolate-to-batter ratio is great. Definitely had to get one of each cookie to bring back to NYC." - Yelp user Vivian M.

"For dessert, I shared the affogato and chocolate chip cookies. Bad idea, as I should have just gotten my own — it was that good! The chocolate chip cookies came out nice and warm. They were soft and oozed chocolate chips. It was the perfect ending to a nice meal." - Yelp user Abegail A.

"Probably the best cookie I've ever had (aside from my moms because, well, family!) It was still warm when I got it ... Come on, who doesn't love a warm chocolate chip cookie? It was gooey and crunchy and just really freakin' good!" - Yelp user Jessica T.

"My absolute favorite bakery in Detroit. All of their items are to die for. My favorite is the sea salt chocolate chip cookie; I love it so much that I was given two dozen for my birthday." - Yelp user Sam S.

"When you are about to pop and can't possibly eat another bite, make sure you ask for a COOKIE! They are the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet! While you're eating, take the time to look around at all the decorations and memorabilia." - Yelp user Brittney R.

"The shop is cute and inviting, and I was immediately greeted when I walked in. There were so many choices of baked goods that it took me a few minutes to take it all in and decide what I wanted. Eventually I chose a Brookie (a brownie with a chocolate chip cookie baked into the top), which was super soft and rich and VERY chocolatey. " - Yelp user Richelle P.

"Came across this adorable little family-owned bakery and bought a couple treats. I WISH I would have taken a picture of this chocolate chip cookie ('cause I'm all for visuals) but I was enjoying every damn bite of that cookie and simultaneously thinking, 'I have to make a Yelp account and review this,' that it was all gone before I knew it. In conclusion, go explore this little gem." - Yelp user Dhanya M.

"Chocolate chip cookie for dessert — hot 'n soft center, crunchy edges — was the perfect ending to a great meal. We will definitely be back to sample more options from their delicious menu. " - Yelp user Jeanne N.
